I own Shiroi, Koral and Vulkan gisPros: - Excellent fit for bulky and broad-shouldered guys. At 6'3" and 230 lbs, the A3 fits beautifully. Vulkan and Koral gis are nearly identical, I have a Koral in A4 and it is too big.- Preshrunk. Little to no shrinkage. I wash and machine dry after every roll. - I'm not a patch fan and there're few on these kimonos. The chest and pant patches are easy to remove. I leave the shoulder patches because they look decent and are sewn into the collar.

Cons:- I can't say much bad about this kimono however, since Koral and Vulkan are the same I will say that the pants on my Koral gi ripped after about 8 months (from the bottom of the leg up). I've had the Vulkan for longer than that now without any issues but who knows... I have a feeling it was just situational.
